Yeah, this honks me off too, something serious.
“Everyone goes through this.” Sure. Once a week. Maaaaybe once a day if they’re treading towards ADHD, but it’s not inhibiting to their lives.
But if you have ADHD: it’s closer to once a minute, sometimes even every ten seconds. A conversation that lasts more than 10-15 seconds? A struggle to follow. A minute, ten minutes, an hour? I’ve lost the tangent so many times I couldn’t count if I tried (you need short term memory to count…)
